Trump's power as a statesman is that he doesn't feel the need to ride a horse.

    Starace rode a horse.
    Reagan rode a horse.
    Putin rode a horse.
    Le Pen rode a horse.
    Kim rode a horse.
    Kadyrov rode a horse.
    Johnson sat on a horse.
    Bolsonaro rode a horse.

Do you ever see Trump on a horse? No, that's unpredictability for you. He doesn't need to do what the cool kids do. He's a leader, not a follower.

Lol.

Trump is the most failed businessman ever, he burned through all of daddy's money.

No sane person ever gave him any credibility after following him. Eg. When he tried to influence the stock market consistently in 1987, they just started ignoring him.

He's just a one-trick pony, trying to do the same thing over and over again on a bigger scale ( he has some experience with it by now).

But the only consistency in his life is his failure.

Trump has been exceptionally predictable. He's unreliable as an ally, he has no plan on any subject, but he'll do anything for a dollar or a flattering headline. That's it. You think Putin is predictable because he did a horse photoshoot? Jesus.

Horse sense in 1779: https://www.loc.gov/resource/ppmsca.33532/

Equines have not much cortex, but they do prefer their allies reliable.

(the counter argument here would be Animal Farm's Boxer. We'll all discover which model had a better fit, later this year.)

China is taking the opening that the failed con-man is creating, not because of leadership. But by sheer incompetence.

Just one of many examples.

You will indeed see it in November, not long anymore :)

Edit:

> My book doesn't come out until later in the summer, but I'm going to tell you now one thing that you'll find in it: all of the reporting indicates that Barr is involved in the dubious funding of the Trump 2020 campaign by foreign sources. This is all a lot worse than you realize.

Perhaps sooner :)
